Taking out Bharat Jodo Yatra wearing foreign t-shirt: Amit Shah slams Rahul Gandhi
Jodhpur (Rajasthan), September 10: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his 'Rs 41000 t-shirt' and said that he is leading a campaign to unite the nation- the Bharat Jodo Yatra "wearing a foreign t-shirt".
On Friday, the BJP launched a social media attack against the Congress, alleging that Rahul Gandhi, who had been bringing up the topic of inflation during the "Bharat Jodo Yatra," was actually donning a T-shirt that cost Rs 41,257 and was made by a foreign brand while Prime Minister Narendra Modi was promoting the "make-in-India" movement.
Shah added that thousands of people have given their lives in service to our nation and reminded Gandhi of his remarks in the Parliament where he said that "India is not a nation." He asked the Congress leader to "study India's history."
"Rahul Gandhi has set out with Bharat Jodo Yatra wearing foreign t-shirt. I am reminding a speech by Rahul Gandhi and Congressmen in his Parliament. Rahul Baba had said that India is not a nation. Rahul Gandhi, in which book have you read this? This is the nation for which lakhs and lakhs of people have sacrificed their lives. Rahul Gandhi needs to study India's history," Shah said.

The Home Minister also criticised Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot for the "highest prices" of fuel in the state and claimed that despite the Center cutting the tax rates on petrol and diesel, Gehlot's administration did not lower the taxes on them.
"The prime Minister reduced the tax on petrol recently, all the BJP-ruled states reduced it too, but Ashok Gehlot did not do it. The most expensive petrol and diesel in the country are sold in Rajasthan today. The most expensive electricity is available in Rajasthan. Who is responsible?" he added.
He further urged the people to "uproot the Gehlot government" and asserted that the BJP government will reduce the taxes as well as the price of electricity.
"Congress government cannot do development work. Cannot build roads, cannot provide electricity, cannot provide employment. The Gehlot government can only do the vote-bank and appeasement politics," he said.
